Which company is Leapmotor affiliated with?

Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co., Ltd. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. About the company: Leapmotor is an innovative intelligent electric vehicle brand, jointly invested by Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. and its major founders. Established in 2015 and headquartered in the Binjiang High-Tech Development Zone of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, its business scope covers intelligent electric vehicle design, R&D and manufacturing, intelligent driving, motor and electronic control, battery system development, as well as cloud computing-based vehicle networking solutions. 2. Related technologies: Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co., Ltd., invested by Dahua Technology and its major founders, is a company focused on the intelligent electric vehicle industry. Leveraging its technological accumulation in security surveillance and smart transportation, as well as its experience in vehicle manufacturing, the company applies AI, video image processing technology, biometric recognition technology, and other security surveillance technologies to new energy vehicles, providing users with intelligent electric vehicles.
Leapmotor was founded by Zhu Jiangming with the technical team from Dahua. As one of the co-founders of Dahua Security, Zhu transitioned from the security industry to the automotive sector in 2015, establishing Leapmotor as an independently operated new energy vehicle company. While leveraging Dahua's technological foundation—such as adapting camera technology from the security field for autonomous driving—Leapmotor is now a fully independent company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to their latest financial report, the R&D team in Hangzhou's Qiantang District has nearly 2,000 employees, and the 8295 chip solution used in their new C10 model is quite advanced in the industry. Recent vehicle deliveries have surged dramatically, securing a top-three position among emerging automakers, which indicates strong market recognition for this technology-driven approach.
Behind this car is actually the technological and capital support of Zhejiang Dahua. After Dahua's founder Zhu Jiangming established Leapmotor in 2015, their background in the security industry laid the foundation for their intelligent driving technology, especially in visual perception. But what truly surprised me was their equity structure: when they went public last year, Dahua's shareholding dropped to less than 10%, while CICC Capital and Hangzhou State-Owned Capital became the major shareholders. Now, Leapmotor's production base in Jinhua is self-built, with over 80 core patents in the three-electric system. In particular, their CTC (Cell-to-Chassis) battery integration technology might even have more installations than Tesla.
